I. Purpose and Significance of the Guidelines

In response to the request for “establishing and improving a system for

calculating the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and gradually creating a carbon

emission trading market” as made in the Outline of the 12th Five-Year Plan, and in

response to the request for “accelerating buildup of the working systems for

accounting GHG emissions at national, local and enterprise levels, and implementing

a system that allows the key enterprises to directly report their data on GHG

emissions and energy consumption”, in the Work Plan for GHG Emission Control

during the 12th Five-Year Plan Period (No. 41 [2011] issued by the State Council), in

order to ensure that the target of reducing the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions

per unit of GDP by 40%-45% by 2020 relative to 2005 will be achieved, the National

Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has formulated the Guidelines for

Accounting and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions from China Ceramics

Manufacturing Enterprises (Trial) (the Guidelines), with the aim to help enterprises (i)

scientifically calculate and report in a standard format their GHG emissions, (ii)

formulate their GHG emissions control plans, (iii) actively participate in carbon

trading, and (iv) enhance their social responsibilities. Meanwhile the Guidelines are

designed to pave the way for the competent authorities to establish and implement

the reporting system for GHG emissions from key enterprises to have the GHG

emissions status of key enterprises in support of decision-making processes.

II. Preparation Process

The Guidelines have been developed by experts from the National Center for

Climate Change Strategy and International Cooperation (NCSC), as entrusted by the

NDRC. The writing team has taken into account the research findings and practical

experiences for calculating and reporting GHG emissions from relevant enterprises

both in China and overseas, as well as the Guidance for Compiling Provincial

Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory (Trial), issued by the NDRC General Office.

Through field investigations, in-depth studies and experimental accounting based on

individual cases, NCSC completed the development of the Guidelines for Accounting

and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions from China Ceramics Manufacturing

Enterprises (Trial). Efforts have been made to ensure that the Guidelines are

science-based, comprehensive, standardized and practical. In the course of its

preparation, NCSC has received strong support from relevant experts from the China

Building Material Academy, China Building Material Test & Certification Group Co.,

Ltd., China Ceramics Industrial Association, China Chamber of Commerce for Import

and Export of Light Industrial Products and Arts Crafts Ceramics Branch among

others.

III. Main Contents

The Guidelines consist of the main text and two appendices. The seven sections

of the main text have clearly defined the application scope of the Guidelines, cited

documents and references, terminology and definition, accounting boundary,

accounting methodology, quality assurance and documentation, as well as report

contents and format, respectively. Emissions of carbon dioxide (not other types of

GHGs) are calculated for the purposes of the Guidelines. Emission sources include

fossil fuel combustion, industry manufacturing processes and consumption of net

purchased electricity for manufacturing. The application scope covers the enterprises

with qualified legal entities and independently accounted units that are treated as

legal entities, all being involved in the ceramics manufacturing industry.

IV. Issues that Need Clarification

The Guidelines list needed parameters for calculating and the recommended

value of emission factors which have referred to both China and overseas competent

authoritative documents such as the Guidance for Compiling Provincial Greenhouse

Gas Emission Inventory (Trial), China GHG Gas Inventory Research, Public Institutions

Energy Consumption Statistics System and China Energy Statistical Yearbook among

others.

Considering the fact that enterprise-based GHG emissions accounting and

reporting are a completely new and complicated endeavor, some inadequacies may

be found in practical application of the Guidelines, and it is hoped that those

application units may provide their individual feedbacks in a timely manner, all aimed

at making further revision in the future.

The Guidelines are published by the National Development

and Reform Commission, which is responsible for their interpretation and revision

when appropriate.

1. Application Scope

The Guidelines apply to the accounting and reporting of GHG emissions from

ceramics manufacturing enterprises in China. Enterprises operating in ceramics

manufacturing within the Chinese territory may calculate and report their GHG

emissions, and formulate their individual GHG emission reports by using the methods

provided in the Guidelines.

The Guidelines lays down the methods for accounting, and obtaining relevant

parameters, default values, technical requirements and norms on reporting GHG

emissions.

Ceramics manufacturing enterprises that produce products other than ceramics and

emit GHGs need to calculate and report on the emissions caused by the production of

these products as per guidelines for calculating and reporting on GHG emissions of the

relevant enterprises.

The GHG emissions in the Guidelines refer to CO2 emissions of ceramics

manufacturing enterprises and do not include emissions of other greenhouse gases.

2. References

The Guidelines are established in line with existing international, national and

industry standards. Hence, some concepts and requirements in the Guidelines are cited

from and referred to the following guiding documents:

3. Terminology and Definitions

3.1 Greenhouse gases (GHGs)

A greenhouse gas is natural or man-made atmospheric component in gaseous

state that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. The GHGs

addressed in the Guidelines refer to the six types of GHGs which are controlled under

Annex A of the Kyoto Protocol, and they are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous

oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur

hexafluoride (SF6). The GHGs mentioned in the Guidelines refer to CO2 emissions from

ceramics manufacturing enterprises.

3.2 Ceramics Manufacturing Enterprises

Ceramics manufacturing enterprises refer to any profit-making economic and

manufacturing organization with legal person status (or deemed a legal person) and a

stand-alone accounting system, which is engaged in the production and processing of

ceramics such as domestic ceramics, decorative ceramics, building and sanitary ceramics,

ceramics for chemical industry, electro-ceramics, structural ceramics, functional ceramics

and so forth.

3.3 Reporting Entity

A ceramics manufacturing enterprise that emits CO2 and calculates (report) its

emissions.

3.4 Activity Level Data

Activity level data refer to the basic data used to calculate CO2 emissions of

Page 7: Guidelines for Accounting and Reporting Greenhouse Gas ...en.ccchina.org.cn/archiver/ccchinaen/UpFile/Files/Default/... · China Ceramics Manufacturing Enterprises (Trial) Instructions

3

ceramics manufacturing enterprises, including fossil fuel consumption, lower calorific

value of fossil fuels, raw materials consumption, production output, consumption of net

purchased electricity, etc.

3.5 Emission Factors

The emission factor refers to the factor used to quantify the GHG emissions per

unit of activity level. An emission factor is usually derived from sample measurements or

statistical analysis, indicating the representative emission rate at a particular activity level

under given operating conditions.

3.6 Rate of carbon oxidation

Rate of carbon oxidation is the ratio at which carbon in fossil fuels has been

oxidized in the process of combustion and indicates the extent fossil fuels are

combusted.

4. Accounting Boundary

Ceramics manufacturing enterprises are the accounting and reporting entities of CO2

emissions in the Guidelines. A reporting entity should regard its legal entity as the

boundary for identifying, calculating and reporting all relevant emissions from the

production system within it, while any double or missing accounts should be avoided.

The scope of CO2 emissions accounting and reporting by ceramics manufacturing

enterprises includes emissions from fossil fuels combustion during operation (including

emissions from fossil fuel-based vehicles), emissions from production processes and

emissions from consumption of net purchased electricity. The CO2 emissions from

activities for the purpose of internal logistics, staff business trips, raw material

procurement, production management, sales system and energy and electricity

consumption for residential purposes are excluded. The accounting and reporting

boundary of CO2 emissions of ceramics manufacturing enterprises is as shown in Chart 1.

Chart1 Boundary of CO2 Emissions from Ceramics Manufacturing

Enterprises

Sources of CO2 emissions accounted and reported by ceramics manufacturing

enterprises include:

4.1 Emissions from fossil fuel combustion

Emissions from fossil fuel combustion refers to CO2 emissions from the

burning of fossil fuels in the process of ceramics production, for instance combustion of

coal, diesel, heavy oil, water gas, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas. Equipment

that consumes fossil fuels includes gas generator, steam furnace, raw materials dryer,

spray dryer, ceramic billet dryer, kiln, etc. The CO2 emissions from the combustion of

gasoline, diesel and other fossil fuels that are consumed by vehicles for production

purposes also fall into this category.

4.2 Emissions from Industrial Production Processes

The carbonates, such as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and magnesium carbonate

(MgCO3), that are contained in calcite, magnesite and dolomite as raw materials of

ceramics emit CO2 after decomposition under high temperature in the ceramics firing

process, as follows:

4.3 Emissions from Consumption of Net Purchased Electricity

Emissions from consumption of net purchased electricity refer to CO2

emissions from the consumption of net purchased electricity by electrified production

equipment in ceramics manufacturing enterprises, including those for storing and

distributing raw materials, crushing, grinding, mixing, sieving, and moulding raw

materials, forging, glazing and drying ceramic billet, cooling and distributing products,

and others. Such emissions actually take place at facilities under electricity suppliers.

Ceramics manufacturing enterprises that produce products other than

ceramics and emit GHGs need to calculate and report on the emissions caused by the

production of these products as per guidelines for calculating and reporting GHG

emissions of the relevant enterprises.

5. Accounting Methodology

The total CO2 emissions of ceramics manufacturing enterprises can be calculated by

the following equation:

Etotal = Ecombustion + EIndustry + Eelectricity (1)

Where,

Etotal is the total CO2 emissions of ceramics enterprises within the accounting

period (tCO2);

Ecombustion gives the CO2 emissions from fossil fuels combustion of ceramics

enterprises within the accounting period (tCO2);

EIndustry represents the CO2 emissions from industrial production processes of

ceramics enterprises within the accounting period (tCO2);

Eelectricity defines the CO2 emissions from consumption of net purchased electricity by

ceramics enterprises within the accounting period (tCO2);

manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period (tCO2);

ADi represents the activity level of i type of fossil fuel of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises within the accounting period (GJ);

EFi refers to the CO2 emission factors of i type of fossil fuel of ceramics

manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period (tCO2/GJ);

Data concerning the activity level of i type of fossil fuel of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises within the accounting period, or ADi , can be obtained by Equation (3):

ADi = FCi NCVi (3)

Where,

FCi constitutes the net consumption of i type of fossil fuel of ceramics enterprises

within the accounting period (t is the unit for solid or liquid fossil fuels; Nm3: unit for gas

fossil fuels);

NCVi is the lower calorific value of i type of fossil fuel of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises within the accounting period (GJ/t: unit for solid and liquid fossil fuels; GJ

/Nm3: unit for gas fossil fuels);

The equation for CO2 emission factor, EFi, of i type of fossil fuel used in equipment

m within the accounting period is calculated as follows:

EFi = CCi i 1 (4)

Where,

CCi is the carbon concentration per unit of calorific value of i type of fossil fuel of

ceramics manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period (tC/GJ);

i is the rate of carbon oxidation of i type of fossil fuel of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises within the accounting period (%wt);

1 Shows the ratio of CO2 to C in terms of molecule weight.

5.1.2 Acquisition of Data for Activity Level

Data for activity level in relation to CO2 emissions from fossil fuels combustion

is the product of consumption of various types of fossil fuels of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises and their lower calorific values within the accounting period.

The actual consumption of a specific type of fossil fuels of ceramics

manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period can be determined by looking

into the changes of purchased amount, sold amount and stocked amount of this type of

fossil fuel. Purchased and sold amounts of fossil fuels are based on the figures on

settlement statements, such as purchase or sales orders. Data on changes of stock can be

collected in reference to the regular stock records or by other methods in accordance

with relevant requirements. The consumption of various types of fossil fuels of ceramics

manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period can be calculated by Equation

(5):

FCi = Qfuel, 1 + (Qfuel, 2-Qfuel, 3) Qfuel, 4 (5)

Where,

FCi is the net consumption of fossil fuels of ceramics manufacturing enterprises

within the accounting period (t is the unit for solid or liquid fossil fuels; Nm3 is the unit

for gas fossil fuels);

Qfuel,1 describes the purchase amount of fossil fuels of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises within the accounting period (t: unit for solid or liquid fossil fuels; Nm3: unit

for gas fossil fuels);

Qfuel,2 refers to the amount in stock of fossil fuels of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises at the beginning of the accounting period (t: unit for solid or liquid fossil fuels;

Nm3: unit for gas fossil fuels);

Qfuel,3 refers to the final amount in stock of fossil fuels of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises at the end of accounting period (t: unit for solid or liquid fossil fuels; Nm3:

8

unit for gas fossil fuels);

Qfuel,4 is the sold amount of fossil fuels of ceramics manufacturing enterprises

within the accounting period (t is the unit for solid or liquid fossil fuels; Nm3: unit for gas

fossil fuels);

The ceramics manufacturing enterprises can use the default values of lower calorific

values of fossil fuels offered in the Guidelines (See Table 2.1 in Appendix II).

5.1.3 Acquisition of Emission Factors

The default values in table 2.1 of Appendix II can be taken as references for the

carbon concentration per unit of calorific value and the rate of carbon oxidationi of i

type of purchased fossil fuel.

5.2 Emissions from Industrial Production Processes

5.2.1 Emissions Equation

CO2 emissions generated in the process of ceramics production largely come

from ceramics firing, where calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and magnesium carbonate

(MgCO3) decompose under high temperature and emit CO2. These emissions can be

calculated by the equation below:

Eindustry = [Fraw material material (Ccaco 2 + Cmgco 3)](6)

Where,

EIndustry is the CO2 emissions produced in the process of industrial production of

ceramics manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period (tCO2);

FRaw Materials is consumption of raw materials by ceramics manufacturing enterprises

within the accounting period (t);

Raw Materials refers to the utilization rate of raw materials of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises within the accounting period (%wt);

5.2.2 Acquisition of Data for Activity Level

Data for activity level of industrial production include annual consumption of

raw materials of ceramics manufacturing enterprises, utilization rate of raw materials

and mass concentration of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in raw materials.

Consumption of raw materials can be determined by the changes of purchased,

sold and stocked raw materials within the accounting period. Purchased and sold

amounts of raw materials are based on the figures on settlement statements, such as

purchase or sales orders. Data on changes of stock of raw materials can be collected in

reference to the regular stock records or by other methods in accordance with relevant

requirements. Consumption of raw materials can be calculated by Equation (7):

Fraw materials= Qraw materials, 1 + (Qraw materials, 2-Qraw materials, 3) Qraw

materials, 4 (7)

Where,

FRaw Materials is consumption of raw materials by ceramics manufacturing

enterprises within the accounting period (t);

Qraw materials, 1 stands for the purchased amount of raw materials by ceramics

manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period (t);

Qraw materials, 2 constitutes the stock amount of raw materials of ceramics

manufacturing enterprises at the beginning of accounting period (t);

Qraw materials, 3 is the stock amount of raw materials of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises at the end of the accounting period (t);

Qraw materials, 4 is the sold amount of raw materials of ceramics manufacturing

enterprises within the accounting period (t);

Page 14: Guidelines for Accounting and Reporting Greenhouse Gas ...en.ccchina.org.cn/archiver/ccchinaen/UpFile/Files/Default/... · China Ceramics Manufacturing Enterprises (Trial) Instructions

10

Utilization rate of raw materials (Raw Materials) is determined by the actual

production of ceramics manufacturing enterprises.

The contents of CaCO3 and MgCO3 should be tested on each batch of raw

materials, and calculated based on weighted average contents of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in

raw materials within the accounting period. The following standards must be adhered to

in testing for the contents of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in raw materials: GB/T4743 Methodology

on Chemical Analysis of Ceramic Materials and Products, QB/T2578-2002 Methodology

on Photometric Analysis of Chemical Components of Ceramic Raw Materials, etc.

5.3 Emissions from Consumption of Net Purchased Electricity

5.3.1 Emissions Calculation Equation

The CO2 emissions from consumption of net purchased electricity for

production by ceramics manufacturing enterprises can be calculated with the equation

below:

Eelectricity = (EAelectricity EFelectricity grid) (8)

Where,

Eelectricity indicates CO2 emissions from consumption of net purchased electricity

for production within the accounting period (tCO2);

EAelectricity is the consumption of net purchased electricity for production within

the accounting period (MWh);

EFelectricity grid refers to CO2 emissions factor for the regional electricity grid which

supplied net purchased electricity for production within the accounting period

(tCO2/MWh).

5.3.2 Acquisition of Data for Activity Level

Where,

EAelectricity is the consumption of net purchased electricity for the production by

ceramics manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period (MWh);

Qelectricity supply, 1 means the consumption of externally purchased electricity for

production of ceramics manufacturing enterprises within the accounting period (MWh);

Qelectricity supply,2 is the electricity output of ceramics manufacturing enterprises

within the accounting period(MWh).

5.3.2 Emission Factors for Consumption of Net Purchased Electricity for Production

To reflect the electricity mix and specific emissions of different areas, emission

factors of regional electricity grids are recommended to be taken as CO2 emissions

factors of net purchased electricity for production. According to the current layout of the

state power grid, namely, North China Grid, Northeast China Grid, East China Grid,

Center China Grid, Northeast China Grid and South China Grid, CO2 emission factors of

regional power grids can be calculated by the equation below:

EFElectricity Grid = (10)

Where,

EFElectricity Grid refers to CO2 emission factors of regional electricity grids within the

accounting period (tCO2/MWh);

EElectricity Grid, Fossil Fuels is the CO2 emissions from electricity generation using fossil

fuels in regional power grids within the accounting period (tCO2);

PSElectricity Grid represents total electricity supply of regional electricity grids within

the accounting period (MWh);

The CO2 emissions from electricity generation using fossil fuels in regional electricity

grids and the total electricity supply of regional electricity grids differ over the years and

should be updated from the data released annually by the NDRC and Yearbook of China
